Abstract: A system and method for controlling motion of a door are provided. The door is moveable between an open position and a closed position and has a balanced position whereat the door does not move towards the open position nor the closed position under an effect of gravity. The system includes a power actuator for moving the door to a partially open position between the open position and the closed position. The power actuator is adapted to allow the door to move to the balanced position after the power actuator has moved the door to the partially open position.

Abstract: A system for opening or closing a closure member of a vehicle and an accelerometer calibration method are provided. The system includes an actuator assembly with an electric motor operably coupled to an extensible member for opening or closing the closure member. The system also includes an accelerometer configured to sense movement of the closure member and output an accelerometer signal. An actuator controller is coupled to electric motor and to the accelerometer and is configured to determine an adjusted accelerometer signal as the accelerometer signal adjusted using one of a plurality of predetermined compensation factors determined through an accelerometer calibration process temporally before installation of the accelerometer in the vehicle. The actuator controller then controls the opening or closing of the closure member using the electric motor based on the movement of the closure member as represented by the adjusted accelerometer signal.

Abstract: A power door actuation system for a door of a vehicle is provided. The system includes a housing mounted to the door and an actuator mounted within the housing that includes an electric motor configured to output a motor force. The actuator also includes a geartrain with a geartrain input coupled to an output of the electric motor for receiving the motor force and a geartrain output for applying an output force to the door. An extendible member is configured for extension and retraction in response to actuation by the geartrain output for moving the door. The system determines the output force to compensate for external forces affecting the motion of the door, adjusts the output force determined to an adjusted output force to compensate for internal forces affecting the operation of the actuator, and controls the electric motor to move the door at the adjusted output force.

Abstract: An actuator assembly of an actuation system for a closure member of a vehicle is provided. The actuator assembly includes an actuator housing including a sensor housing. The actuator assembly also includes an electric motor disposed in the actuator housing and configured to rotate a driven shaft operably coupled to an extensible member that is coupled to one of a body or the closure member for opening or closing the closure member. The actuator assembly also includes an actuator controller disposed in the sensor housing of the actuator housing and coupled to electric motor and an accelerometer configured to sense movement of the closure member. The actuator controller is configured to detect the movement of the closure member using the accelerometer. The actuator controller then controls the opening or closing of the closure member based on the movement of the closure member using the electric motor.
